Some Velvet Morning Page #9

Synopsis: Fred (Stanley Tucci) arrives at the doorstep of his beautiful young mistress Velvet (Alice Eve) after four years apart, claiming to have finally left his wife. But when she rejects his attempts to rekindle their romance, his persistence evolves into obsession - and a dark history between the former lovers comes into focus. A return to form for writer/director Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Your Friends & Neighbors), Some Velvet Morning is an astutely written portrait of a very modern romance.

So all I'm saying is that I threw away,

I pissed away my other life for you.

I'm sorry I didn't call first.

- Stop.

- Stop? No, I can't stop. I can't.

So hang on to your hats, okay?

Hang on to them!

Who the f*** says that anyway?

Is it the cowboys?

Not like the football team or

the whatever. Not those.

Like the wild west guys that go... Is it them?

I don't know. F*** them.

- I'm not sure.

- You what?

I really do have to go make a call because

I'm actually close to being late.

Are you really? That's okay, I'm sure that

he'll wait for you. He'll have an appetizer.

That's not the point. It's the

right thing to do.

The right thing. To call? Is that how you do it now?

It's done with a call?

- And I'd do the same for you.

- You would? Thank you so much.

God, that's so nice of you.

It's really true what they say about you girls.

You really do have hearts of gold.

F***, Fred! F***! What do you

want me to do!

Seriously, what is it that you

want me to do for you!

What is it? Just tell me what it

is!

Ultimately, I want you to suck

my cock.

But I'm willing to sweet talk

you a little more first.

Gee, thanks.

It's all right. Thank you for being so good

at your job and so goddamned understanding.

Fred, I gotta make a call upstairs.

So you do what you want to do.

- No, no, wait, wait.

- Whatever it is you want to do.

- Wait! Wait! Just...

- No, Fred, no.

- No, no, no!

- Don't stand in front of me like that!

Why not? Why shouldn't I make

things hard for you?

- Stop it. Stop it!

- Why? Tell me why?

- Come here. Sit down.

- No, stop it!

Come on. Sit down. I want to

talk to you.

Look, don't do it. Don't

push me, okay? Don't.

Don't do it. I don't want to be

pushed today, all right?

I want you to sit down and I want

you to talk to me. Sit down.

- Or what?

- Or what?

Really? Don't push me. You don't

want to know "or what".

Sit down.

- Now, do you need to make a phone call?

- I'm sitting.

- Good.

- I'm sitting.

So go ahead, make your call.

I have to go upstairs and make

it from the land line...

'cause otherwise he won't recognize

the number and he won't answer.

Okay, so go up and get it.

- Can I go now?

- Yeah, go, yeah.

Go ahead. I'll wait here.

- I'm getting up, okay?

- Yeah, get up and go get it, yeah!

Don't be so f***ing dramatic.

You find it?

Did you find your phone?

Use your sexy voice.

Hi, yeah, it's me.

I'm just calling because I'm

gonna be...

I'm running a little bit behind.

Is that okay?

Yeah, what time do they stop

serving lunch?

Do you know what time the

kitchen closes?

"Lunch".

No. No, that was the TV.

Hold on. Let me just turn it

down.

What was that?

That's so true.
